RING, WBA and WBC junior welterweight champion Danny Garcia will return to the ring on March 15 on Showtime against an opponent and at a site to be determined, Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer confirmed in an e-mail to RingTV.com on Monday.

No other details — such as whether Garcia will be defending his 140-pound titles or moving up to welterweight — were available.

In his last bout, Garcia (27-0, 16 knockouts) scored a unanimous decision over Lucas Matthysse in the co-featured bout to the Floyd Mayweather-Canelo Alvarez fight last September.

The news originated on ESPN.com.
